School Supply Project

Rue & Ziffra, P.A. is proud to sponsor the 2011 School Supply Project, coordinated by the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties. This program, which has been in existence for over 14 years, provides support for elementary, middle and high school students by supplying them with backpacks. Each backpack is filled with the necessary school supplies each student will need for the upcoming school year. The packs are then delivered to the counselors at 76 Title 1 Schools.

Over the 14 years that this project has been executed, 47,376 quality backpacks have been donated so far (figure is from early 2011) to economically disadvantaged youths, regardless of race or religion. Among some of the schools in our community who have received help through the School Supply Project include DeLand Middle, DeLand High, Deltona High, Edgewater Public, Creekside Middle, Holly Hill Elementary, Holly Hill Middle, Horizon Elementary, Longstreet Elementary, New Smyrna Beach High, Orange City Elementary, Ormond Beach Middle and Spruce Creek High.
